International Society for Microneurography: Comprehensive Microneurography Course – 3rd Edition

3rd Comprehensive Microneurography Course & Conference

June 15-26 2026, Prato, Italy

Building on the success of the first two courses, and the demand for another course, The International Society for Microneurography will be holding the third hands-on course in June 2026.

As with the first two courses, the two-week course will include lectures on how to perform intraneural recordings from different peripheral nerves via tungsten microelectrodes, discussion on the different types of neural signals one can obtain with microneurography, and the different approaches to analysis. The first week will be dedicated to recording sympathetic nerve activity to muscle and skin while the second week will focus on single-unit recordings from myelinated and unmyelinated afferents supplying muscle and skin.

Practical hands-on instruction in the technique will be provided in both weeks, with two sessions per day and five parallel stations that will provide attendees with opportunities to perform microneurography on each other, as approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Monash University.

The course will be taught by an international faculty of leading experts in microneurography and suit those with no experience of microneurography, as well as those with experience wishing to explore different aspects of the technique.

The course will be held at the Monash University Prato campus, located in the picturesque city of Prato in Tuscany – 30 minutes by train from Florence.
